Episode 14: Or-Casm

 

Hello, fellow nerds! It’s time for episode 14 of our read-a-long of “From Blood & Ash” by @jennifer_l_armentrout ! We only have 5 episodes left of this season, so be on the lookout for some fun season 3 announcements soon! 

This week we’re reading chapters 28-30 and discussing how walls are used as symbolism in pop culture while Whitney takes us on a deep dive into works like “A Handmaid’s Tale” & “The Office”. But don’t worry, spicy chapters call for spicy deep dives, and we didn’t want to miss an opportunity to educate you on the benefits of orgasms in this episode. Let’s go ahead and say that 1 a day may indeed keep the doctor away! Tastes better than an apple and is more fun too! 

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Bitter Blood". It can be found here!

Fave episode quote: “We are too immature for this deep dive” - Whitney
